2.6 Cabling Requirements
For 100BASE-TX ports
The 8 RJ-45 station ports require Cat. 5 twisted-pair UTP/STP cable for connection. When
configuring within the 10/100 BASE-T cabling architecture, the cable distance should be
within 100m.
The following table summarizes the cable requirement for 10/100BASE-TX connection:
10BASE-T 100 ohm Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable
100BASE-TX 100 ohm Category 5 UTP/STP cable
Auto MDI/MDI-X function
The POE-FSH8PW is equipped with Auto-MDI/MDI-X function, which allows you to use
straight-thru cable even when connecting to another switch/hub. Simply use the
straight-through cable for all types of 10/100BASE-TX connections, either to a PC or to a
networking device such as other hub or switch.

2.7 Connecting to Power
POE-FSH8PW features a universal auto-select power supply unit, which allows a power
connection to a wide range of input voltages from 100 to 240VAC @ 50 ~ 60Hz.
To establish its power connection, simply plug the female end of the power cord into the
power connector on the rear of the switch and the male end of the power cord into a
suitable power outlet. Once you have correctly plugged in the power, you can then turn on
the Power Switch to activate the switch.
